1.Why

Tibet?
2.What
can
we
infer
from
the
phrase
“close

to
touch”?
The
air
is
thin
and
we
have
to
rest
several
times
on
the
short
hike
from
camp.
To
our
left,
snow-covered
mountains
disappear
into
clouds
that
seem
almost
close
enough
to
touch.
On
the
plain
in
front
of
us,
we
can
just
make
out
a
herd
of
graceful
animals.
This
is
why
we're
here—to
observe
Tibetan
antelopes.
The
mountain
is
extremely
high.
What’s
the
main
idea
of
this
paragraph?
Tibetan
antelopes
live
on
the
plains
of
Tibet,
Xinjiang,
and
Qinghai.
Watching
them
move
slowly
across
the
green
grass.
I'm
struck
by
their
beauty.
I'm
also
reminded
of
the
danger
they
are
in.
They
are
being
hunted,
illegally,
for
their
valuable
fur.
Tibetan
antelopes
are
in
danger.
1.Why
should
we
protect
the
wildlife
animals?
My
guide
is
Zhaxi,
a
village
from
Changtang.
He
works
at
the
Changtang
National
Nature
Reserve.
The
reserve
is
a
shelter
for
the
animals
and
plants
of
northwestern
Tibet.
To
Zhaxi,
the
land
is
sacred
and
protecting
the
wildlife
is
a
way
of
life.
“We’re
not
trying
to
save
the
animals,”
he
says.
“Actually,
we’re
trying
to
save
ourselves.”
What
happened
to
the
Tibetan
antelope
in
the
1980s
and
1990s?Why?
The
1980s
and
1990s
were
bad
times
for
the
Tibetan
antelope.
The
population
dropped
by
more
than
50
percent.
Hunters
were
shooting
antelopes
to
make
profits.
Their
habitats
were
becoming
smaller
as
new
roads
and
railways
were
built.
What
Why
1.What
did
people
do
to
help
protect
the
Tibetan
antelopes?
2.What
qualities
does
Zhaxi
have?
Where
can
we
find
the
evidence
to
support
these?
In
order
to
save
this
species
from
extinction,
the
Chinese
government
placed
it
under
national
protection.
Zhaxi
and
other
volunteers
watched
over
the
antelopes
day
and
night
to
keep
them
safe
from
attacks.
Bridges
and
gates
were
added
to
let
the
antelopes
move
easily
and
keep
them
safe
from
cars
and
trains.
Hard-working
responsible
and
loving
nature
Why
will
the
protection
programme
of
the
antelope
continue?
The
measures
were
effective.
The
antelope
population
has
recovered
and
in
June
2015,
the
Tibetan
antelope
was
removed
from
the
endangered
species
list.
The
government,
however,
does
not
intend
to
stop
the
protection
programmes,
since
the
threats
to
the
Tibetan
antelope
have
not
yet
disappeared.
The
threats
to
them
have
still
exsited.
How
can
we
do
to
save
the
planet
according
to
the
author?
In
the
evening,
I
drink
a
cup
of
tea
and
watch
the
stars.
I
think
about
the
antelopes
and
what
Zhaxi
told
me.
Much
is
being
done
to
protect
wildlife,
but
if
we
really
want
to
save
the
planet,
we
must
change
our
way
of
life.
Only
when
we
learn
to
exist
in
harmony
with
nature
can
we
stop
being
a
threat
to
wildlife
and
to
our
planet.

Example:
I

As

am

we
should
do
is
to
realise
that
we
are
part
of
nature
and
cannot
separate
from
it.
We
can’t
survive
without
it.
When
we
damage
it,
we
literally
damage

I

education
is
very
important
to
change

we
relate
